Saffron & Rose No-Churn Ice Cream

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (480 ml) heavy whipping cream (cold)
  • 1 can (14 oz / 400 g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1½ tsp rose water (food-grade)
  • A generous pinch of saffron threads (about 1/4 tsp)
  • 1 tbsp warm milk (to bloom the saffron)
  • Optional: crushed pistachios or dried rose petals for topping

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

  1. Bloom the Saffron
    Soak saffron threads in 1 tbsp warm milk. Let it sit for 10–15 minutes to extract the flavor and golden color.
  2. Whip the Cream
    In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  3. Mix the Base
    In another bowl, mix the sweetened condensed milk with rose water and the saffron-infused milk (including threads for extra flavor and color).
  4. Combine
    Fold the whipped cream gently into the floral saffron mixture until smooth and airy.
  5. Freeze
    Pour into a container, sprinkle with crushed pistachios or rose petals (optional), and freeze overnight or at least 6 hours.
  6. Scoop & Swoon
    It’s creamy, floral, golden, and deeply aromatic. A rare gem of a dessert ✨
